The shanks on the moving and stationary dies are
offset, and there are alignment dots on the FRONT
surface of the dies. The shanks of the dies must be
offset to the same surface and the dots must be
aligned, and face the operator, in order to achieve
proper mating of the dies.
CAUTION
DO NOT mix die components from different die

1. INTRODUCTION
The crimping die assemblies listed in Figure 1 are
used to crimp COPALUM sealed terminals and
splices.
The crimping die assemblies must be installed into
the crimping heads shown in Figure 1. Refer to the
instruction sheet packaged with the crimping head for
information concerning die installation and general
performance of the head.
Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are
provided in Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.
Read these instructions thoroughly before using the
die assemblies.
NOTE
Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in
millimeters [with inches in brackets]. Figures and
Refer to Figure 2 and select the appropriate wire, die
assembly, and terminal or splice. Strip the wire to the
length indicated in the table.
CAUTION
DO NOT nick or cut the wire strands.
!
NOTE
For aluminum-to-aluminum application, butt
splices will accept the same wire size at either
i
end. However, for aluminum-to-copper
applications, the size of the copper wire must be
decreased to a smaller size to compensate for
differences in the electrical properties of copper
and aluminum. It is also necessary to use a
smaller wire size when using copper wire in a
terminal. Refer to CMA range listed with each
wire size in Figure 2.
